Regisseur Peter Segal (Get Smart), der den Shazam Film mit The Rock drehen sollte, sagt nun, dass er die Chancen einer Verfilmung für sehr gering hält. Das Problem sei Man of Steel, denn da Captain Marvel seiner Meinung nach
Shazam Superman sehr ähnlich sei, werde DC keine zwei so ähnlichen Charaktere nebeneinander erlauben.
"Now that Superman is being invigorated and going up against Batman, I think it's difficult for DC to figure out how to launch this character in the wake of Superman's resurgence.
At its core, it's a lot like Superman. There's this boy trapped inside of a superhero's body. He's still a boy inside, so there's this opportunity to play a lot of humor with the action.
Originally, Stan Lee brought me Fantastic Four a number of years for that very reason. I always have the question when people bring me superhero properties, 'Why me?'.
With Stan, he said, 'It's because there's a sense of humor within all Marvel characters.' These characters are flawed and, within those flaws, there is humor.
When [producer] Toby Emmerich came to me with Shazam, it was because of those same reasons. To draw from that humor and to mix it with great action and pathos. I've always loved Shazam, but I don't know if it's going to see the light of day anytime soon."
